The factor affect the Growth of

microorganism
Nutrients
 Microorganisms require nutrient to live ,
and they get it by being:

Autotrophic
They make their own food by photosynthesis from
carbon dioxide and water with the help of sunlight.

Saprophytic
They obtain their nutrients from decaying organic
matter.

Parasitic
They obatain their nutrients from their living hosts.
Humidity
 Microorganism need living place with high
level of humidity. They will die if they do not
get water for a period of time.

However,some bacteria can live in a place

without waters presence by forming spore.

For amoeba,they form cyst(spore with

outer ring).
Microorganisms in air are most active with
an air humidity 25% - 40%
LIGHT
 Strong sunlight(high intensity ultraviolet light kills most
microorganisms.

Most of virus,fungi and protozoa and some of the bacteria

prefer dim or dark habitat.

while algae and few of bacteria tend to live in bright place

since they have chlorophy II to carry out photosynthesis
process.
